Actress Iyabo Ojo is trending online after a video of her and fellow actor Oluwole Cole, popularly known as Baraka, surfaced on social media.
The clip showed Iyabo and Baraka at K1 De Ultimate’s All White Party New Year Fest 5.0, a social event where several entertainers and public figures gathered.
In the short video, the pair were seen greeting each other warmly, hugging, and engaging in conversation in a way some viewers described as “close” and “friendly”.
Social media users quickly reacted to the post.
Some people dismissed the interaction as harmless and friendly, while others joked that Iyabo’s partner, Paul Okoye (Paulo), might not be pleased if he saw the clip.
Comments like “If Oga Paulo catch you” and “Paulo no get like these settings” were among the reactions shared by netizens.
Baraka is known for his roles in action and street‑style Nollywood films, and the video drew attention largely because of the ease and comfort shown between him and the actress. Supporters of Iyabo, however, asked critics to see the interaction as casual and respectful, not romantic.
Iyabo Ojo has maintained a public relationship with music executive Paulo Okoye for several years. The couple often share moments together on social media and attend events as partners, though they have not announced plans to formally marry. Last year, Iyabo explained in an interview that she and Paulo have their own understanding about their relationship and are content without traditional wedding plans at this time.
